Really like the blue tinted windshield there, Joe. It matches the color scheme of your bike very nicely!


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Not often we see one of our bikes up on a centre stand. She looks so proud that way!!

I've heard that they do tend to drag in the corners.

Pretty bike. Still looks new. I got it's old brother,an 05. Same color. I've done a few mods to mine and 67,000 good miles. How many miles does it have now.I really like your windshield also. Enjoy the ride.

Nice looking bike. how does your windshield work? I like the looks of the smaller windshields. I had a Dart Flyscreen, i liked the looks but the wind would hit me right at eye level and made my glasses flutter. I take it Givi is the brand name?

it is either the 603 or 604
http://www.giviusa.com/Screens--spoilers/Universal-screens/A604

it is adjustable so you can direct the wind to hit you around neck level or a little higher. i do get some buffeting over 70mph, but is is not too expensive and i had it already.

it goes for $112 - 104
